3. A bumper draft

"Coach Yang, what you told me is done safely. I have exchanged the 46th pick and some cash from the Spurs to get the draft pick in the 45th pick in the second round."

"But my behavior has attracted the attention of other teams, and other teams are currently signaling me whether they still have any intention to make some draft pick deals with them."

Hearing the report from scout Paca, Yang Fan, who was sitting in the small room, smiled.

Although all this was already under his control before, Yang Fan still felt relieved after all this was completed.

"Good, thank you for your hard work."

"It's all about some things, and it's not hard to say." Hearing the praise from head coach Yang Fan, scout Paca waved his hand casually, and obviously felt quite satisfied with Yang Fan's attitude.

Although Paka, who is a slightly young head coach, has long known that General Manager Sam Prosty is definitely more fond of him.

But no matter what, scout Paca is considered a veteran of the Thunder. From the original Seattle Supersonics to the Oxford Thunder at this moment, it can be regarded as a veteran of the two dynasties.

So when head coach Yang Fan had a better attitude, Paca still felt a little relieved and looked at the young head coach with a different look.

After all, if you successfully serve as the head coach of the NBA team at this age, I'm afraid most young people will be more arrogant.

But so far, scout Paca has a better personal impression of Yang Fan.

At least in the handover of some work on weekdays, the attitude of speaking never makes people feel uncomfortable.

"By the way Mr. Paka, if possible, you can see if you can trade the draft picks with the 50th and 56th picks this year until next year."

"I can accept it either a single transaction or a package transaction, and there is no limit on which team, even the Celtics, who are the defending champion, are still acceptable."

"Of course, if it's really hard to pack and take action, you can also choose to exchange it for cash, but it's of course the best to be able to exchange it for next year's draft pick."

After thinking for a moment, based on the memories left in the previous life, Yang Fan gave his long-standing plans to Paca.

Because looking at it from a historical perspective, at this year's draft, there were also many high-quality players who made a name for themselves in the future.

However, except for a few players, there are very few high-quality players available for people to choose from at this draft.

Therefore, for Yang Fan, who holds six draft picks in this draft, try to stop loss if he can stop loss.

After all, when a Thunder team holds six draft picks, it means that many teams will miss the draft this season.

So in this case, the draft picks in the hands of the Thunder are of little appeal to them.

Regarding this, Yang Fan can be said to be not worried about taking action at all, but the difference is what kind of chips he can get.

Hearing the opinions from the team's head coach Yang Fan, scout Paca turned his head and looked at the general manager Sam Prosty next to him.

When Paka saw the latter nodding slightly, he replied to Yang Fan with a little respect:

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

As soon as he finished speaking, scout Paca turned around, held his briefcase and hurriedly left the room.

Regarding this scene, even Yang Fan, who has been a human being for two lives, had to sigh in a low voice:

"I'm sorry, this efficiency is worthy of your team's three MVP players in the future..."

With the Thunder's series of operations in the box, the draft in the stands is continuing at this moment.

The next series of draft picks are exactly the same as Yang Fan’s memory.

Behind Westbrook, the Memphis Grizzlies, who ranked fifth in the first round, chose Kevin Love.

And if nothing unexpected happens, Love will be traded to the Timberwolves in the next place like in his previous life.

Although Yang Fan can be called drooling about Kevin Love, who slipped away in front of him, the fifth pick in the first round does not mean that he can trade it just by wanting to.

Draft picks at this position can be said to be crucial to any team.

So between Westbrook and Kevin Love, no matter how much Yang Fan is nostalgic about, he can only choose one in the end.

Finally, after experiencing the need for comparing the team's lineup and the unyielding steps from general manager Sam Prostie, Yang Fan still supported the team to continue to choose Westbrook with the fourth pick in the first round.

After all, no matter what, Westbrook is a real regular season MVP in later generations. Although many people say that Westbrook's MVP has the essence of a brush.

But even if a brush can get the MVP, it can definitely be called strong...

At least looking at the long history of the NBA, players who can finally win the honor of MVP in the regular season with the name of brush.

It can definitely be called rare, and it has a common feature throughout its career, that is, its reputation is gaining popularity.

What's more, if someone says Westbrook is a brush, then in the first few years of entering the league, Kevin Love is also a brush...

Next, the Los Angeles Clippers, who ranked seventh in the first round, selected Eric Gordon.

The Charlotte Bobcats, who ranked ninth in the first round, selected the most powerful point guard D?j? Augustine, who is known as Derek Ross and Westbrook.

Of course, although Augustine's name contains the word dj, it sounds very wild.

But looking at Augustine's entire career, his playing style is really too stable, and it can even be said to be a bit slutty...

The Nets, who ranked tenth in the first round, chose Brooke Lopez with good vision.

The Wizards, who ranked 18th in the first round, chose the Big McGee, who is completely the best match in history.

In the end, the 24th pick in the first round, under Yang Fan's slightly excited gaze in the room, Stern in the stands finally announced the Thunder's draft results.

"Congratulations to the Oklahoma City Thunder for choosing Sergi Ibaka from the Spanish League in the 24th pick in the first round!!"
